Portland Police Association leader explains why all members of Portland police riot squad resigned

(Worthy News) – Portland Police Association Executive Director Daryl Turner argued on “Fox News Live” Sunday that elected officials “encouraged and enabled some of the violence'” that was taking place over the more than 150 nights of riots in Portland, explaining part of the reason why all 50 members of the Portland police riot squad known as the Rapid Response Team (RRT) resigned.

A Portland Police Bureau (PPB) statement indicated that the resignations were effective as of last Wednesday, and it’s unclear what implications would be for law enforcement response to future demonstrations in Portland, although Turner stressed that the officers have resigned from their voluntary positions on the Rapid Response Team, but will “still be doing the same job” and will “be ordered to do the same job, just a little bit different.”

Portland Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis had said that the police department will make sure that there are “as close to adequate resources as we can get within just the limits that we have to deal with anything that comes up with on-duty resources.” [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
